How will the 7 handicapper get on playing aggressive v smart golf over 3 short par 4,s holes at Chorlton Cum Hardy Golf Club. The simple rules are he can only use his New Mizuno ST-X 10.5 degree driver or his Ping i25 4 iron to Tee off to see which strategy helps him to score better.
Can he hit fairways & greens by playing risk or reward golf?

Iron for safety or controlled aggression?⛳ WHICH WILL SCORE BETTER? COMMENT BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@michealhudson4515 3 года назад

4 iron

@andewlea3772 3 года назад

Think it's more down to your putting Liam , rather than your driver or irons

@MrSitemaster2 3 года назад

Iron for safety.

@michaelomalley5186 3 года назад

I don't pay to lay up....... But sometimes laying up is the way to go.

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Think depends on ability.

Well I watched it because I like listening to your banter and seeing how you play. However, I have now idea what you were trying to prove (if anything) or if you succeeded.

@tomlee812 3 года назад

I enjoyed the gentle and thoughtful theme of this one. You are to be congratulated. PS I'd rather watch you than Ant & Dec!

Ya didnt wake up to lay up, Mr Liam. go go go pedal down. Like these type of vids, instructional and fun

@GolfMates 3 года назад

@alaninnh 3 года назад

I'm going with the iron. A driver in my hands doesn't bring about controlled aggression, instead it produces out of control depression. 😟

@shawnmichajluk2044 3 года назад

I like being 100-130 yards away for my approach shot, rather than being 50-90 yards. I know how to hit the former, not the latter. However, I am using a 4-hybrid and a 5-hybrid instead of irons. I find them easier to hit.

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Good strategy

@Jon__ 3 года назад

Noting you thanking the committee, have the members been complaining that you’re causing slow play 😅 good to have you back 🏌🏼‍♂️🥰

You need to go for controlled safety liamo 😳😳

@GolfMates 3 года назад

@jmtgolf2756 3 года назад

There's NO ADVANTAGE of laying up unless there's a hazard within your carry distance... this goes for all levels of golfers especially higher handicaps... get to the green as fast as possible

@mugz_1437 2 года назад

Morons who hit the driver all the time except par 3’s is me🤷🏻‍♂️😅 But ay level par all day haha. (Video stats) Good video Liam, couple more days and we have the Xmas special can’t wait🎄

@jean-claudeguignet2796 3 года назад

Hi all, happy Easter! I would be glad to see you comparing your driver with a 2 iron or 3 wood off the tee, then compare irons with woods/rescues on par 5 2nd shots. Then compare results without short game/putting, the latter being less comparable... Any, ay thanks for this interesting video, enjoy your day!

@jaybyrne4562 3 года назад

Some very interesting "data" there 🤣🤣🤣 Not sure how this would come out for me? I can miss pretty wild with a 4i just as much as with a driver. Mine would just be about which one I could find 🤣🤣🤣

@sijones501 3 года назад

Liam, Adlington Golf Centre near Poynton / Bramhall have got TrackMan free to use in all bays. Can have a virtual game with your mates even in practice - could be a great video! Know the owners if ya wanna come down?

@goodyear1954 3 года назад

How about playing par 4s and 5s from 9 holes placing the ball 200yds from the tee middle fairway each time, counting that as your first shot and playing each hole from there? Would show the value of simple straight tee shots.

@simmo5071 3 года назад

Depends who is doing the test OMP would be down the middle all day long. Driver should win as the pro’s go for distance over accuracy!

@oscarrowley9504 Год назад

Loving going back watching old videos, just wondering where your from in Bolton as I’m a little Hulton lad so not to far away

@Mizman76 3 года назад

All that test showed is that your short game(wedges and putter) is even worse than your long game. Your test subject( long iron vs driver) is simply hole dependent on what full club you feel most confident coming into the green with.

@johneccles9051 3 года назад

Over the years watching your channel it’s helped me with my understanding of what club to use for what yardage plus also conditions thanks mate

@daddyharry6065 3 года назад

Doesn’t matter what you use off the tee I say but it’s more to do with what the difference is in off-shots that a driver can produce (hook, slice) versus what an iron can produce (ditto). Only diff is distance produced.

@christopherstanley5389 3 года назад

Liam, middle of the middle is the centre.

@GolfMates 3 года назад

@jimnaz5267 3 года назад

Happy Easter Liam and Golf Mates

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Same to you sir 👍

@ryandown4426 3 года назад

I always play irons on short holes but if I’m playing match play then maybe play driver

@susanp.203 3 года назад

Before watching, I'm gonna say the controlled iron always wins in these situations... as long as you put it in the right spot to have an easy peasy on the green in two 2nd shot. The driver can wreak havoc and put you too close or too off center from your target where you encounter 2nd shots that you're not used to playing. Hmmm... let's watch now and see what happens.

@MrAnders1000 3 года назад

i love booming the driver. the driver don't always love me back haha. i could do with hitting more irons off the tee

@garyfarmer5855 3 года назад

Great video. Glad to see the comparison. keep up the good stuff coming.

@keithfayers7449 3 года назад

Double knot your shoelaces Liam. :) As you have shown, you don't have to try and hit the skin off the ball to get it there. Good video Joe.

Not mad for this one, Liam... In the last analysis, play the game how you want to play it. It's a game.

@neilbelcher3577 3 года назад

50 yards you should be hitting sand or lob wedge no wonder you didn’t hold the green!

@charliegoff8125 3 года назад

As the golfsidekick always says - leave yourself a full shot into the green - so I'll go iron

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Fair point

@andrewyoung6571 3 года назад

Hey don’t dis king Kev 😝

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Kevin was spot on 👍😂

@bernardhilton3527 3 года назад

Longer iron needed or if you are confident with a rescue club or even a 7 or 5 wood.

@davidgeorge5344 3 года назад

Playing for position is going to be my strategy this year which means between 3 and 5 driver shots per round on my home course. It's much easier playing off the fairway!

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Good idea

@robert1245 3 года назад

That Kevin keagan comment killed me. Lol.

@THEPhilsFan 3 года назад

The course I grew up learning to play, that I still play at on the weekends with our league, has 3 or 4 par fours like this...risk/reward I usually lead towards the ‘controlled aggression...’ I feel like, I can go for the green and have an eagle chip/putt, OR if it goes in the water and I can’t get up and down for par? ...MY FAULT 😂😂 If I layup with an iron off the tee, AND THEN chunk one in the water, that brings 5 or 6 into play and that drives me CRAZY 😂😂 so I say driver all day!!

@GolfMates 3 года назад

I hear you 😀

@sijones501 3 года назад

Played Chorlton Cum Hardy once with my ex father in law. Not split up with my wife, split up with him! Nice track. Part of the “golden triangle” I believe with Didsbury and Heaton Moore? Liam, you ever played Reddish?

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Yes good track

@jimewen9542 3 года назад

So, it’s driver on some short par 4’s, and a long iron or 3-5 wood on other ones? I think it’s really about just stopping, and thinking on each hole? Something most of us aren’t very good at!! FORE! 🏌🏻‍♂️

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Very true

I was wondering why you didn’t use a driving iron; I like the comment about having a head full of pubes to get a cheap perm like Kevin Keegan😂, really jealous of your putter, you lucky right handed sod!😁

@GolfMates 3 года назад

I should have yes

@gordonmcshannock4610 3 года назад

Well played Liam. Driver when you can. Coz when you try to play safe you never commit the same. In my opinion.

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Cheers

@kymstock1852 3 года назад

I try to decide if I can get my tee shot inside 120m (132yards) of the centre of the green, so that I can hit an iron at the green. Using single length irons I know I can hit a full swing from 60-120 m and have a high chance of hitting GIR on a short par 4 hole. If the second shot will be from outside 120m , where I would have to use my 4W, 7 W, 4,5,6 hybrids for shot two, then Unless there are no dangers with using Driver to hit the fairway , then Driver it might be. For safety I would consider a strategy to lay up to 60 m out, my best club for hitting the green. I.e . 7w off the tee, then work out what will get me to 60 m out

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Absolutely

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Na he's OK 👍

@dancorun6650 3 года назад

If I'm driving the ball well I'll use it on every hole, but when I not I'll hit 4 wood, hybrid or long iron. I have to be careful because my controlled aggression can become nasty aggression quickly.

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Thank you

@patrickmcclure9753 3 года назад

Liam out of interest because you mentioned it a few times did you think Kevin NA was out of order when he spoke to DJ. Personally I thought he handled it perfectly and was dead right ⛳

@GolfMates 3 года назад

No was right to have a word on n his ear

@alanmark5269 3 года назад

Liam what putter are you using now ?

@djrand62 3 года назад

Paused at 1:11 - I think OMP would say iron for safety, so that is my guess. Using the appropriate iron for each drive would have helped you.

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Probably

@golffit3066 3 года назад

Depends on your game. If you're spraying driver all over, play the safety shot. Strokes gained is clear the closer you are ,the more accurate you'll be on the pin. Personally I drive the dreen but I've worked on my gear and swing to favour accurate over long

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Very true

@bringonbrilliance 3 года назад

Controlled aggression all the way

@geoffreyclark2805 3 года назад

@GolfMates 3 года назад

@richardsmith825 3 года назад

I would just like to think I could play to par. I need serious help with my game to help with consistency in my ball striking. At the minute I just don’t know which way the ball is going to go.

@golfer4713 3 года назад

I don't use driver on our 2 short par 4s and try to leave a full wedge in - driver would bring bunkers into play. But the 2nd is shortish too at 340, I've not been hitting driver but still get in trouble so going to try some controlled aggression

@GolfMates 3 года назад

Cheers

@jamesadams4632 3 года назад

I really liked this one, and can relate to it. The year before last, I had a small muscle tear in my right forearm. Just about the only time it bothered me was if I tried to use my driver. All summer and into fall I hit either a fairway wood or an iron off the tee. I actually played better. All healed now and back to using the driver, there are still par 4 holes where I prefer an iron or fairway wood off the tee. Thanks for another fun video!

@GolfMates 3 года назад
